Rice-paper lanes at Phú Hòa Đông, Chợ Quê inside the gate, and the two town markets.

Phú Hòa Đông rice paper

The workshop lanes are in xã Phú Hòa Đông, on the river, where the sheets dry in the sun. One mix is rice flour with coconut water, salt, sugar, and sesame depending on the batch. An older mix is rice flour, water, and salt. The craft is given as more than 50 years and as more than 80 years. The lanes are more than 40 km from the city centre, and also about 40 km.
